This Bánh Mi (or Banh Mi) Sandwic h I have admired so often, but never really made. Often I shy away from Courts that are not so familiar to me and it takes me a while to warm up to them. Strange, isn’t it? What a man (farmer) does not know, he does not eat. Honestly, this applies 100 percent to my grandma, who will now be 95. But since I’m still a few years younger, I can still try out everything *laughs*. Joking aside, I love being a food blogger because I’m practically forced to keep trying new things and am always pleasantly surprised. Especially with this Sandwich it has me once again literally “blown off the stool” so delicious it was. Well, do you fancy some new Asian flavors? Then let’s get started.
Bánh Mi (Banh Mi) vegan sandwich, yes please!
Bánh Mi, stands for “breakthrough. Sandwich ” if you believe the translations that circulate on the Internet. It’s supposed to be poor people food and a mix of French and Asian cuisine. Originally it is not made with Tofu but with chicken meat. But what would be veganevibes , if we would not conjure up a delicious vegan version of it. The Tofu is first pressed and then cut into slices. Then marinated and seared hot in a pan. In parallel, put the carrot sticks in a vinegar brine, it gives them a great taste. Now all you need is a delicious baguette and you’re good to go. Vegan mayo , hot sauce, cucumbers and fresh cilantro leaf must not be missing, of course.
Vegan Vietnamese Ban Mi Style Kitchen
Here again is a summary including tips and tricks for a quick and smooth success:
- CARROTS: You can also prepare the carrots a day in advance and let them soak at room temperature.
- MAJO: Here are now good vegan alternatives in the supermarket or online. But if you like, you can also make your own Cashew mayo make one yourself. Here’s also directly to the recipe.
- MARINATE: You can also marinate the tofu the day before. Then it can also be left in the refrigerator for one night. In the meantime, I love my tofu press and put the tofu in it a good two hours before I use it for pressing. This saves kitchen roll and cumbersome weighing down with cookware and other crazy ideas. I have linked you my tofu press below at equipment
- BAGUETTE: Here you are spoilt for choice between white bread or a wholemeal variant. Both are allowed.
How healthy is actually coriander? banh mi baguette
I was honestly surprised when I started researching about cilantro. The spice really has it in spades in a positive sense. Here are the most important facts:
- DETOX: Japanese researchers found that coriander is able to eliminate heavy metals such as mercury from the body.
- ANTIOXIDANTS: there are a lot of antioxidants in the green leaves. The secondary plant compounds can naturally counteract chronic inflammation and aging processes.
- ANTIBIOTIC: U.S. studies have shown that the substance dodecenal in cilantro has a strong antibiotic effect and can even kill salmonella more effectively than chemical drugs. However, coriander does this without any side effects.
- DIGESTION: Thanks to numerous essential oils (linalool, geraniol, coriandrol, borneol), coriander can help digestion.
So my dears, after all the theory I would say, let’s devote ourselves to practical implementation. Come on! Fits perfectly with Sweet potato fries and the combibantion with hoisin sauce is just a dream.
